I guess we are different in the south, because it's a sad deal when you don't have a ceiling fan in the rooms. That means you had a really cheap contractor that couldn't afford to put in a fan. I could not imagine my house with no fans. Too funny - I may have to blog about that. :) <BR/><BR/>Also, totally go with the uggs. I'm the same way though. Sometimes I think, "does it really matter what the brand is?" It's hard to make that choice and it's a darn shame we feel that way. <BR/><BR/>The flower patch kid is hysterical. I've never heard of that doll. I guess they had an overload of cabbage patch kids by the time I caught up...well 4 years later.

If you really did purchase your last pair 12 years ago, and you want to get almost as much use out of your next pair, go for the UGGs. But, you are already entering the UGG market late, so be aware that you may soon be considered reasonably un-fashionable. -Yaffa (former lurker)yitz98https://www.blogger.com/profile/08538566224600482944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655637601989815492.post-31487355647764298312008-12-03T21:45:00.000-06:002008-12-03T21:45:00.000-06:00BUY.

I had it myself last week. I was all set to go out and spend $200 on Uggs, until someone told me about Bear Paws - Better than your Target knock offs, but not Uggs and not Ugg prices. You can waterproof them with waterproofing spray. I got them at famous footwear where I had a 20% off coupon and it was buy one get one half off - so I got boots for Benny too. Anyway - they are Warm, Warm, Warm - even though they don't have a brag tag, and I felt good about my decision not to get Uggs just for the name alone.<BR/><BR/>However, I have done the same with purses, where I'll get one for like $20 at Target, and then need a new one 6 months later. 2 years ago my husband bought me a Coach bag as a gift, and I've never had an issue. So sometimes it is worth spending the money, but I tell you Bear Paws are a real alternative to Uggs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655637601989815492.post-85246634056354856162008-12-03T15:12:00.000-06:002008-12-03T15:12:00.000-06:00I am also the sucker mom that bought UGGS for my ...I am also the sucker mom that bought UGGS for my 7 year old, but refused to buy them for myself (she asked me why my boots are "fake UGGS" - thats what I get for living in the five towns :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655637601989815492.post-85931468745724229242008-12-03T13:13:00.000-06:002008-12-03T13:13:00.000-06:00OOOOh, I just came home from L&T and Macy'...OOOOh, I just came home from L&T and Macy's because I needed boots (and my feet are the only thing that hasn't changed in size) Although I am an anti- Ugg person, just cuz of the non-conformist in me, I do think you should spend money to get what is good for you (no target for the deserving mother of four) But, I went with coupons in addition to the clearance boots and got gr8 boots and shoes for great prices. And at Macy's I was informed when I saw a pair of Cohl Haan boots (that I purchased at the sale price)that looked very similar to Uggs, that Uggs in fact are warm yet not water proof. Anyway, spend money on yourself and get gr8 boots, but look beyond the Uggs.Orahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18341466896352215750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655637601989815492.post-13654842582084902722008-12-03T12:25:00.000-06:002008-12-03T12:25:00.000-06:00Get the boots, girl!

So i went to Nordys and bought them from the girls section. thats when its nice to have small feet. They were only $80 in my teeny size (4 in girls = 6 in women). <BR/><BR/>$80 is still a lot. BUT i have worn them every single day from October to April for 2 years now and they are still in pristine condition. this is my 3rd winter in them. Nordstrom even cleaned them for me last year for free.<BR/><BR/>I am slightly embarrassed to wear them, to be honest. because i dont love being a part of the fad. im also embarrassed to wear my north face coat which i bought on ebay (girls size Large) for cheaper than a GAP winter coat. <BR/><BR/>So. As one cheap person to another, I totally hear your quandry. And i say....just buy them. Cheap is not always best. They will not fall apart. If they do, Nordstrom will replace them. They will serve you well.Shoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13085648573425127432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655637601989815492.post-24170822129645935392008-12-03T10:31:00.000-06:002008-12-03T10:31:00.000-06:00Get them.
